And The Ringo of Commies shall lead them back to the famine.

So ends the Orange Revolution:

Initial exit polls put Viktor Yanukovych, a Soviet-style politician, three to five percentage points ahead of Yulia Tymoshenko, his bitter rival and the current prime minister. A fuller picture is expected to emerge on Monday, at which point 80 per cent of the votes are likely to have been counted.

If confirmed, Mr Yanukovych’s victory sounds a death knell for the country’s 2004 Orange Revolution that set it firmly on a pro-Western course but failed to deliver meaningful changes.

Those would be meaningful changes after Putin’s attempt to assassinate their leader.  Of course, what pro-Western country was left for them to turn?  Even in the U.S. we unfortunately have a President who dreams of a Post-American world.

Ahead of the vote, he appeared relaxed and confident. “I am sure that the Ukrainian nation deserves a better life,” he said, casting his vote.

“That is why I have voted for good changes and for stability.” His advisers concede he is a poor public speaker but insist he is hard- working and committed to delivering better living standards, something Ukraine desperately needs. They insist he is not the Kremlin stooge he is often made out to be, though admit his policies are likely to be more palatable to the Kremlin than those of outgoing president Viktor Yushchenko.

In other words, “Things have developed that’ll ensure security. I’ve just made a deal that will keep the Empire out of here forever.”

How’s that “reset” button working out for us?

Next stop, Romania.  Hours after stealing the Ukrainian election, the Kremlin fires a shot across the bow.

More on the AWOL, objectively pro-Communist President.
